Italy Journal 4

We walked home through the Biennale gardens, with tall Cypress trees and a grey statue of Garibaldi.  At night in the gathering evening we came across the white Campanale that one can see from sea as one approaches Venice.  Beside it is San Pietro and San Anna which is falling down.  In the nearby area there are streets that are hushed and houses that are empty,  though there is some rejuvenation going on.  History and the present collide.
